Recently I was telling one of my friends I was going to make my own energy bars from a recipe I had seen in Bicycling Australia magazine. Now I think his comment was something like, "you have got to much time on your hands".Now I don't know about you but to quote from the movie The Big Lebowski "I take comfort in that". Well the thought finally came to fruition this afternoon and the added bonus was licking the lid of the condensed milk tin took me back to childhood instantly (my mother is a seriously good cook). Luckily I had a nice cold Cascade Premium lager to sip on to bring me back to the current moment and keep me on track with the recipe otherwise I may have been lost to childhood memories of scones and roast lamb forever.
Here is a photo of the finished product on the cooling rack and I reckon it tastes pretty good too( you always have to taste a couple of crunch bits that break off) . Will be able to see how effective they are as energy bars with some pretty decent training rides coming up in the mountains later this week.
And as this is my first post for 2011 I wish anybody with enough time on their hands to be reading this a happy and prosperous new year with good health and plenty of lovin'
